The cottage is in a good position to walk into town. Needs updating as beds and sheets etc need replacing. Also outdoor furniture needs updating. So felt it was overpriced. Shame as it has a lot of potential.

The house is lovely, the location is excellent and we had a brilliant holiday. There are a couple of things in the outdoor area that needs updating but easily sorted.

Beautiful setting/ views, excellent sized space but cottage not well maintained inside or out. Needs a complete deep clean and maintenance . Missing broken balustrades on balcony, rusty outdoor furniture. Would benefit from a little more child proofing. We took our own corner covers but all cupboards and drawers easily accessible with sharp kitchenRead more implements at child height. We had a lovely holiday but would have been excellent if property was as advertised, very disappointed in state of it. Hide

Lovely size property and amazing views (small single room). Great location and has parking which is great although tricky to access for larger vehicles. IMO the property would benefit from a deep clean in areas and a freshen up. Kitchen cupboards need fixing/remotes need replacing but overall a pleasant stay and within walking distance of amenitiesRead more. Hide

Great location, just a short walk into town. Very clean and tidy in a quiet street. Lovely views. Be careful on the stairs to the top floor bedroom as they are very steep, no handrail and low ceiling at the bottom - my daughter cracked her head more than once! Single bedroom is very small.

A spacious modern property that caters for young and older folk (lol) Hide
